Assessing the Fractional Curve for Proper Management of Adult Degenerative Scoliosis [PDF]
Adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS) is a coronal plane deformity often accompanied by sagittal plane malalignment. Surgical correction may involve the major and/or distally-located fractional curves (FCs).

Incidence and Risk Factors of Lumbosacral Complications Following Long‐Segment Spinal Fusion in Adult Degenerative Scoliosis [PDF]
Purpose Long‐segment spinal fusions are associated with lumbosacral complications (LSC), but the associated risk factors are not known. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for LSC after long‐segment instrumented fusion with distal fixation to ...

Prognostic Nutritional Index Is a Predictive Marker for Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients with Adult Degenerative Scoliosis [PDF]
Our aim was to ascertain whether the prognostic nutritional index (PNI), could predict the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS) undergoing corrective surgery.

The role of sagittal pelvic morphology in the development of adult degenerative scoliosis [PDF]
Abstract Purpose Pelvic morphology dictates the alignment and biomechanics of the spine. Recent observations in different types of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis indicate that individual pelvic morphology is related to the spinal levels in which scoliosis develops: primary lumbar adolescent scoliosis is associated with ...

Interpedicular height as a predictor of radicular pain in adult degenerative scoliosis [PDF]
Spine surgeons must correlate clinical presentation with radiographic findings in a patient-tailored approach. Despite the prevalence of adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS), there are few radiographic markers to predict the presence of radiculopathy. Emerging data suggest that spondylolisthesis, obliquity, foraminal stenosis, and curve concavity may be ...
